Rafael Montas began his Martial Arts training in 1978 at the age of 16. He competed in numerous Martial Arts tournaments in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Eventually Mr. Montas realized that Karate is much more than kicking and punching and competing in tournaments. He yearned for more knowledge. He studied Kyokushin-kai, Seido Karate and various forms of Martial Arts throughout the years.

In the 1990s Mr. Montas began looking at Goju- Ryu Karate and in 1995 he met Sensei Luis Morales. From that day forward Mr. Montas has considered Sensei Morales his teacher for life. Sensei Montas teaches the weekdays morning class.

Sensei Elvin Gonzalez

5th Dan

Born march
25,1954; and in 1961 I developed juvenile diabetes. My first exposure to karate
was thanks to my seventh grade classmate Jerry Evans. He convinced me that
karate makes a difference. We studied together for a year and a half. Our
school closed on us and fortunately we meant Craig Powell and I studied with
him till high school. I met Jose Soto in Clinton high school. He espoused me to
a karate called Goju-Kai. We organized a Karate club in our high school and I
went to college and Jose Soto had open schools and I helped him with teaching
his students. I met an exciting instructor his name Luis Morales Sensei. His
energy was felt by everyone attending the dojo. He would make trips to Japan an
then Okinawa. His search for knowledge benefited everyone. He decided to join
Jundokan and we were under Teruo Chinen Sensei; his quest for knowledge kept
him asking questions and unfortunately the answers were not forth coming. He
had the honor of meeting Hokama Sensei and that's history. His wisdom and
instruction by Hokama sensei has energized my sensei and everyone in our
organization. we are a family and I am proud to be a member.

Sensei John R. Grace 5th Dan

Born in Homestead, Pittsburg, Pa. in 1962

At the age of 4 years old my family moved to Santurce, Puerto Rico. We then relocated to Fajardo, Puerto Rico,
where I was raised.

In Fajardo, Puerto Rico, I learned to play basketball, which is my first
love.

As a teenager I would go see martial arts movies and was curious about the
arts.

I am a father of 3 children and a grandfather of4 grandchildren.

I have always been interested in martial arts but had never had the chance
to practice.

In 1985, I moved from Puerto Rico, to New York City. I started to work for Krasdale Foods located
in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. While on the job a co-worker introduced me to Sensei Luis
Morales. The co-worker had previously
mentioned to me that Sensei Morales was the person I should go see.

I have since been under the tutelage of Sensei Morales going on 12 years,
where I have learned, enjoyed, and appreciate the true spirit of karate.

Through Sensei Morales I have
had the honor and privilege to train
under himself as well as Sensei Tetsuhiro
Hokama.
